Civil Rights Lyrics by Michael Eaborn

I’ll Be Smiling

0

[INTRO & HOOK]
You are my safety net. You catch me when I fall
How could i forget the city where we lost it all?
Knew we would recover, 'cuz we're only human
We're only human now, and we found each other
And under the ruins nothing will ruin us..
[VERSE 1: MICHAEL EABORN]
It’s 2020, wanting to fight for equality
It’s our voice that stands, against racism
The choice to fight against the broken justice system
Policeman kills a black man, he is switched to a different department
It’s the racism taught to man
Wanting to kill someone because of the color of their skin
When will there be change?
Don’t expect support from Congress
And the bullshit of politics
It’s time we fixed
The racism that exist
[PREChorus: MICHAEL EABORN]
It’s alive and well, a living hell
Whether you’re black, white, tan or pale
The skin of your color shouldn’t be compared
We all seem to forget that we are human
Black Lives Matter? Yes. Black Lives Madder
Why? George Floyd. Breonna Taylor
[Chorus]
You are my safety net. You catch me when I fall
How could I forget the city where we lost it all?
Knew we would recover, 'cuz we're only human
We're only human now, and we found each other
And under the ruins nothing will ruin us..
[VERSE 2: MICHAEL EABORN]
There’s so many of them
We can’t walk, talk, sleep without being killed
The pain being dealt, gets harder and harder
Don’t say “All Lives Matter” when a cop commits murder
Go support Trump, and wave that confederate flag
You’re celebrating a victory, you never had
Does that make you mad? Make America Great Again!
That bullshit is sad. Help me understand your stance
On systematic racism. Oh you can’t?
That’s right. White privilege. That makes a difference
[PREChorus: MICHAEL EABORN]
It’s alive and well, a living hell
Whether you’re black, white, tan or pale
The skin of your color shouldn’t be compared
We all seem to forget that we are human
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
[Chorus]
You are my safety net. You catch me when I fall
How could I forget, the city where we lost it all?
Knew we would recover, 'cuz we're only human
We're only human now, and we found each other
And under the ruins nothing will ruin us..
